24.01.2022 It's Carers Week! National Carers Week is about recognising and celebrating the outstanding contribution unpaid carers make to our nation. There are over 2.7 million unpaid carers in Australia providing care and support to a family member or friend who has a disability, mental illness, alcohol or drug dependency, long term health condition or who is frail due to age.... Anyone at any time can become a carer. National Carers Week is an opportunity to educate and raise awareness among all Australians about the diversity of carers and their caring roles. This year, National Carers Week will run from Sunday 11 to Saturday 17 October 2020. REGISTER HERE: http://www.carersnsw.org.au/national-carers-week

23.01.2022 ABC are currently looking for people who are interested in being involved in Season 2 of ‘Love on the Spectrum’ Please see the flyer below for more information. The first thing to explain is that ‘Love on the Spectrum’ is not a reality TV show. Their aim is to follow the journey of a group of people as they navigate a world that can be daunting to us all, but even more complex if you are on the spectrum or if you have a disability. They are working closely and collaborativ...ely with autism organisations and academic and clinical experts in this area and individuals on the spectrum and their approach, as always, will be with the greatest care and respect for those who participate. They organise the dates and group gatherings from their production office with detailed duty of care policies and procedures in place. Over the past few years they have produced many award-winning documentaries based around significant social issues and they plan to bring the same ethical approach and sensitivity to this series as they have others. The first series of ‘Love on the Spectrum’ is now on Netflix to view so that you can use the first series as a reference of what would be involved. If you or someone you know may be interested in getting involved, please send them an email with a brief description of yourself and a photo to: [email protected] Find out more about the company here: www.northernpictures.com.au
